Tuesday 4th July 2023:
So today in Newark, General Wladyslaw Sikorski was celebrated. This evening Just Sing and The Barnby Road Chamber Choir sang a specially commissioned song about the amazing and courageous Polish woman Irena Sendler, at a gathering of both British and Polish dignataries. It was over in the blink of an eye but we received a standing ovation. It was very moving. Well done to all the singers, definitely one to remember! And a huge thank you to Peter Higgins.

This morning we were joined by Caroline and Shirley, the people behind our new song about the inspirational Irena Sendler.
Hearing them talk about Irena gave us fresh perspective and heart. Very excitingly the song will be recorded later in the year.
There is a tribute to Irena just across the road from where we rehearse and more information about this truly inspirational woman can be found here: https://irenasendler.org/
What an amazing story to focus on in the week of International Women’s Day ♀️
